Is it important?
It is to me as the answer may affect my model of the human mind. It is to you as all personality traits derive from the structure of the mind. Did not you say that you are who you are, if I recall correctly? If so, if you are who you are, then such is pertinent to being or not being extremely sensitive.

The question suggests that the problem lies with me, rather than with the people who are deliberately choosing to relate to me with insults and names.
You are unwarrantably surmising or speculating, filling in the voids of the unknown by your own insecurities and distrustful imaginings. It may work for you, creating you own perception of reality in this way, but it can never be an accurate reflection of genuine reality. Instead of uselessly and fruitlessly and even damagingly worrying and speculating, possibly for an extended time, about all possible consequences and implications of my question (or that of any other person), you might simply have matter of factly said Yes, No, or It ain't your business and be done with the issue in a second. In this case you are completely wrong, for my only interest was not being judgmental but simply scientific curiosity. But never mind, I will take a look at your profile, if it is active, and then presumably the answer to my question will present itself there.

This implies that I need to change, that it is my behavior that is unacceptable, and not the behavior of those shouting names.
I have offered you my counsel when someone's post bothers you. In one case you already have accepted my counsel.
There are various issues here that many or all people face: the perception of reality, being affected by this perception of reality, and the response to being affected by the perception of reality.
Dealing with these three issues in all cases is a matter of attitude and choice of attitude. Is the bottle half empty, or is it half full, or is another bottle, whether empty or full, more interesting?
As I have no knowledge about the posts that hurt you, I cannot judge those posts nor the people who made them, nor their behavior, nor do I judge you or your behavior. A mod presumably might.
